Assalamu’alaikum…

Selamat Hari Raya to all the muslims.

How was your raya? Hope everything went well. Mine was Alhamdulillah, it went well. As usual, on the morning of the raya, 10th of Zulhijjah, my family and I went to the surau near by our house. We performed our solat sunat raya and listened to the khutbah,preach by the imam. At 10.00am, the Qurban started.

Meriah jugak tahun ni…though I wasn’t at the Surau to help the makcik-makcik taman. I had to go to the market with my big bro. Before we left for the market, we stop by at the surau..just to show our faces…telling them that ‘hey, we are here…but we had to leave in 5 minutes…" huahuahua..its a way of showing our concern to the people around I guess. If we can’t be there, at least we inform them why we can’t join…hidup bermasyarakat la katakan. We went back to kampung on the next day-I love kampung!

Alamak panjang plak intro..owh, well.

Hmm..for this time I was thinking of saying about mental numbness. huh? mental becomes numb? Well, yes…our mental do become numb when we don’t think. In fact, it will die. "Either you use it or lose it", said Dr. Yed.

I guess the disease is a pandemic nowadays that almost everyone is lazy to think by themselves. Hmm…why don’t I give definition of mental numbness..not mine actually, but its from a book.

"Mental numbness is a situation where most people hold to the belief that what the majority does or think is right."

The reason for highlighting this topic in my blog is that when somebody reads it..I want the person to refelect on himself. Am I part of the people who has this disease? or am i not…and a reminder to myself too.

The spreading of this plague is worrying, for me, as I see more people are rather to be the followers than to think, to find the truth (who am I to say this? It’s my blog.I have the right to say my opinions.) It is also when one become accustomed to things that seems to be odd at the beginning but considered as ordinary as time goes on.

For instance, a friend said to you " Weyh, ko nak tau tak…die ni pelik sikit..susah nak buat keje ngan die.."..then another friend would come to you and say the same thing…then another friend would come and say "Weyh, die ni ckp..die ni pelik..susah nak buat keje ngan die.."..So, what do you do? Do you trust what your trusted friends have said? or do you seek for the truth?

Hmm…sampai sini je la..I let you do the rest of the thinking. (I sound like my new second -old-boyfriend-this year who is 135 years old but looks like 45..who is about to die..who works for his Lamborghini.) ;P
